  • Why do people experience nail fungus more as they age?

    The nails grow brittle, leaving them more vulnerable to cracks where microscopic organisms can live. The immune system also weakens, so it has a harder time fighting off infections. These changes create a thriving environment for fungal infections.

  • Why is nail fungus difficult to treat?

    Once established, nail fungus is notoriously difficult to treat because the organisms causing your infection can penetrate deep inside your nail. Not only can they sit on top of your nail or grow beneath it, but they can also get in between the nail layers themselves.

  • What is Aerolase?

    Aerolase is a gentle yet effective laser therapy system.

  • How does Aerolase work?

    It penetrates deep into your nail bed and matrix, where it administers targeted levels of heat to kill your fungal infection. Unlike other nail fungus laser systems, this advanced technology delivers 650-microsecond bursts of energy.

  • What is cellulite and how does it appear?

    Cellulite is the skin with dimpled surface and mattress-like appearance. Fat cells become much more visible on the surface of the skin when the chambers, they are situated in, become separated by vertical and horizontal fibers known as Connective Tissue Septa.

  • What is the Septa?

    The Septa are anchored rigid fibers that do not stretch with skin. When the fat chamber expands because of enlarged fat cells and retained intercellular fluid, it protrudes beyond the length and width of the vertical & horizontal septa, pushing up towards the surface of the skin, resulting in a dimpled appearance.

  • Where is cellulite commonly found? Is it more common for men or women to have it?

    Cellulite is found most commonly on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. It is more common for women to have cellulite rather than men because of the differences in the way they develop and store muscle, fat, and connective tissue.

    Lipodissolve treatment is an innovative fat burning therapy based on lipolysis that is simple and effective at diminishing cellulite and excess weight.

  • How does Lipodissolve treatment work?

    The effects of Lipodissolve treatment are driven by lipolysis, a process that results in the cleavage of one molecule of triglycerol (the substance that makes up a fat cell) into three molecules of fatty acid and one molecule of glycerol. This splitting occurs with the help of injections, which, upon entering the fatty tissue, causes the release of fat from the adipocytes.

  • What are the results of Lipodissolve?

    After just one session of lipolytic mesotherapy with Lipodissolve, you can get rid of unwanted local fatty deposits, cellulite, and flabby skin. After the third session, you will notice that the injection areas are decreased, local accumulations of adipose tissue in problem areas have disappeared and the skin in the treated areas has become smoother and elastic.
